By Calcasieu Staff

Published January 05, 2026

Paincourtville, Louisiana - Louisiana State Police are investigating a single-vehicle fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 308 near Lucky Street in Assumption Parish that claimed the life of an 18-year-old Napoleonville resident on December 31, 2025.

According to Louisiana State Police Troop C, the incident occurred shortly before 6 p.m. when 18-year-old Jamor Jones of Napoleonville was traveling north on LA Highway 308 on a KTM dirt bike as he approached Lucky Street.

Troopers said their preliminary investigation shows that, for reasons still under investigation, the dirt bike left the roadway to the right, entered a shallow ditch, and overturned. During the crash, Jones was ejected from the dirt bike.

State Police reported that Jones was not wearing a DOT-approved helmet at the time of the crash. He sustained serious injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

As part of the standard investigative process in fatal roadway incidents, a toxicology sample was collected from Jones and submitted for analysis. Results are pending, and no conclusions about impairment have been released.

Troop C investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the crash, including roadway conditions, possible speed, and any other contributing factors. No additional details have been made public, and no other vehicles were reported to be involved.

This crash remains under investigation by Louisiana State Police Troop C.
